Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East.
We have nearly 7,000 members of staff that care for nearly one million people locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children’s, in addition to a range of community-based services across London, such as sexual health and HIV clinics.
We’re one of the best preforming Trusts in the country. We’re also one of the top trusts to work for – our staff say they’re engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment. Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as ‘Good’ in all five of the main domains of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, giving an us overall rating of ‘Good’. We’ve also been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating for ‘use of resources’ by an NHS Improvement inspection.
The post-holder will be required work with the Gender Affirmation Surgery team to work closely with colleagues as part of a multidisciplinary team. They will be required to participate in audit, research and management of the service.
Daytime activities (0800-1700) will be determined by the Gender Affirmation Surgery (GAS) clinical lead and will include operating theatres, outpatient clinics and inpatient duties. The post-holder will work under the guidance of the Urology consultants in the GAS team and will provide leadership and guidance to the training doctors on and ward nurses along the GAS pathways.
The post holder will work within their competence and it is expected that they will continue to develop their professional expertise in general urology by continued professional development including personal study, attendance at courses and seminars. The post holder will take part in audit and will be a constituent member of the Gender Surgery MDT. The post holder will take part in clinical governance activities within the Trust and will have an annual appraisal.
The post holder should possess a recognised medical degree and MRCS/ FRCS and will be experienced in urology, both in outpatient assessment of patients and operatively including endoscopic procedures and have a demonstrated interest in gender surgery.
